Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018189532A1] A microfluidic device (10) comprising: a main body; at least one source reservoir and at least one collection reservoir (18,20); at least one fluid channel (12) for channelling a fluid comprising a compound from the at least one source reservoir (18) to the at least one collection reservoir (20); a plurality of chambers (13) for holding cells, wherein the plurality of chambers (13) are formed underneath and open to the fluid channel (12), wherein a fluid flow is generated through the at least one fluid channel (12) by a difference in hydrostatic pressure between fluid in the at least one source reservoir (18) and fluid the at least one collection reservoir (20) such that the fluid flow provides a compound concentration gradient across the plurality of chambers (13) and wherein the at least one collection reservoir (20) has an overflow opening (32) to substantially maintain a level of hydrostatic pressure in the at least one collection reservoir (20).
